Joe in real life

What keeps you busy outside of work?

Outside of work, I’m usually spending time with my wife and our two young daughters, getting my hands dirty restoring classic cars, or using my private pilot’s license for a quick flight to nearby airports.

How do you give back?

I give back by spending meaningful time with my younger brother, who has special needs, and staying closely involved in the routines and activities that support his growth and independence. Whether it’s helping him navigate daily challenges or simply being a steady presence in his life, that commitment keeps me grounded and reminds me of the impact we can have on the people we care about.

Why do you like working at Mercer Advisors?

What I enjoy most about working at Mercer Advisors is the genuine collaboration, the incredible depth of knowledge across the firm, and the camaraderie that comes from being part of a team that supports one another. Above all, I value the opportunity to make a meaningful impact by helping people improve their financial lives.
